Welcoming self
It is generally better to wait to be welcomed than do it yourself.

Oh, and none of the projects - including Wikia - that you list on your user page have anything to do with the Wikimedia Foundation. --Brian McNeil / talk 19:58, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Really? I always thought that they were, as they use the same formatting as we do...


 * Oh, and by the way, a quick Google search for Launchballer will show that on other Wikis I am absolutely notorious for this kind of crap...--Launchballer (talk) 05:47, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Lol, Well welcome i guess. Both Wikia and the wikimedia foundation use mediawiki software (which was originally developed specificly for wikipedia, but now is used in a great variaty of places), however are not related other than that. There are several key people involved with both (in particular jimbo i think, the two entities were much closer in their earlier history than they are now.), but they are seperate projects with different goals. In paticular Wikia tends to focus on very topic specific wikis, and tends to try to make money off them, where Wikimedia wikis are all non-profit, and have broader educational scopes.

 * Yes, but Wikipedia and her cronies ask you to make a donation.--Launchballer (talk) 17:05, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
